Which fuse, the unit has two of them?
One on the blower and one on the heater.

It's the plastic one on the blower. also I ordered the one by the model number number.
thank you

I would check that the outside louvers on the vent open fully.

Also clean/check the blower wheel.

Check that you have control over the drying temperatures.
If not you may have a grounded element.

Also may be that your cycling thermostat is shot
